On the Lee of Mount JIri-san

This past weekend we loaded up the whole family for our first ever trip down to Jeolla-do to the sides of Jiri-san mountain. On several recommendations we ate, slept, and fished in Hadong county, probably one of the more beautiful places I have been to in Korea. Once we arrived the trip was wonderful, we stayed in a traditional Hanok style guest house, ate fresh water crab chigae, and my wife let me explore up a cascading mountain stream coming off the side of the mountain. The travel to and from, however, will forever lock the location away as an experience probably never seen again. I touched the spirit of the mountain, felt her breeze, ate with her people, and communed with her sprites. Thank you Jiri-san and thank you James for sharing.....


Furry legs and all.

Sleep tight, I promise not to crawl into your ear
